Sacred Heart Memorial Gardens
Darvills, Dinwiddie County, Virginia

Lat: 37° 02' 46"N, Lon: 77° 50' 42"W

The cemetery is located just off Route 613, approx. 2 miles south
of Rt. 40 in Darvills, Virginia. It is located within a forest and
is difficult to see from the road to due the overgrowth of trees,
though it is right next to the road. No official sign was visible
in 2009.

This cemetery was established in 1942 as a result of the construction
of Camp Pickett, a military training ground. The government bought
private land on which to construct the military reservation, including
the land on which Poplar Lawn Baptist Church and various family
cemeteries were located. The remains from these cemeteries were
reinterred at either the African American cemetery (which may also
include some Native American graves) or Butterwood (Blackstone,
VA, Nottoway County) cemetery, to which the remains of Euroamericans
were moved. A total of approximately 2000 remains were reinterred
in Sacred Heart Memorial Gardens, however only a fraction of headstones
are present or visible.
